✓ Specs checked against the manufacturer
Last checked 4 Sept 2026 against the manufacturer's own page . Caveat: Size MD geometry row (480mm seat tube, 565mm top tube), the Boardman size quoted for 177-185cm riders and its nearest equivalent to a 56cm frame. Boardman's overview text claims an 11-50 cassette but its own technical specification lists the SRAM PG-1231 11-44T, which is what is recorded here. Weight is Boardman's stated 'Approx 11.3 kg', not an independently measured figure. Mudguard and rack mounts are Boardman's stated fittings for the TRVL range. Boardman is the rare disc bike on which it publishes a clearance figure. Boardman prints no model year; 2026 reflects its current GB catalogue listing at this price.
